If you looking for games, I maintain the AppDB entries for Diablo 2
and Warcraft 3.  I've finally rated both gold now that all the
critical features of the games work with the current wine releases. 
And they run stable with only a few steps.  They look great.

Although the movies don't play right in Warcraft 3, as there are
crashing bugs with quartz, so I've done all that I have done all
along: removed the movies folder.  Then the game doesn't even use
quartz.  I don't consider this a critical issue since this
recommendation is given to windows users too when the game movies
don't work for them.  I'll have to try to debug it when I have a day
off of school.

Diablo 2 does still run in D3D mode if you hack the gamma function to
DD_OK.  Everything else there is ok.
